Touvdal Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Well, as I suspected, this kit is overenginered, broken down in way to many parts to obtain a lot of detail. And the fit is not paticulary good. I think that manufactures should keep their kit simpel and easy to build, like Revell, Acadamy etc., and leave it up the after maked producers the make detaling kits. Personaly I do not care for all these details that you do not see any way. Producing easier kits would make it cheeper and atract more people. 2 part fuselage, bad idea, not a very good fit. had to insert some plastic card. why make a seperat bombbay doors ???, bad idea makes the fuselage flimsy. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 That's a lot of putty, looks like a handful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Touvdal Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 A lot of work on this plane, again why do they have to break down into so many pieces?? :) Anyway made some more progress Attached the engines, again more putty. Attaching the side rudders also gave some problem, if I had attached as in the set, the plane would just have been flying in cirkels And then how to attach the undercarriage , no attachment points According to the instructions had to use these flimsy parts, that was so thin and soft that the broke just looking at them. So had to inset a piece of plastic card and there you a nice attachment point, and im not looking up the undercarriage any way, againg a over engineered solution that only gave problems The cockpit assembeled, looking nice. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mikester Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Looks like a lot of putty there, Jes. Looking good, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rampage55 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Excellent work whipping this one into shape Jes! I look forward to seeing it completed. Cheers, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Jes, it is good to see you building this kit. I'm also impressed with your work on the landing gears. I'm surprised to see it can stand on its rickety legs. I have the same model, but I've been affraid to start it. I might just build it with gear up, and with Italeri's HE-111 crew flying it. Still, your work is inspired me to try, so thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Touvdal Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Paint work almost inished done by brush, and ready for clear cote. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Touvdal Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 So finally finished, not an easy build mostly due to the fact that this kit has been overengeenered, a lot of unusable parts, to thin and fragile. So kit manufactores why not keep it simpel and accurate, and let up to the model builders weather they what to use extra money on detaling,. cheers Jes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThatJeffGuy Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Looks great Jes...good job and just in time for the deadline Edited September 29, 2010 by ThatJeffGuy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
